I think this guy must be booked under relevant sections. Endangering one's own life is a crime isn't it? |

| ![]() Yesterday on my way to town, I crossed a family riding a scooter, in pouring rain. The father (who was driving) had a helmet, his son was behind him (about 5~6 years of age). The wife behind holding a baby (maybe 7~9 months). The child was soaking wet and probably would end up with a very bad chest congestion. I don’t understand the reason why these people take chances like this, he could have taken the bus or hired an auto or taxi. What happens is the there are so many pot holes which when covered in water are killers. ![]() |

As per today's TOI, Tractor initially failed to recover the car during high tide. Had to wait till waves settled. Car was dug out of the sand & pulled out. Trying to start the engine did not worked out as the engine was flooded with water and had seized. No information about the damage to the interiors. |

| ![]() Saw a guy riding a Honda Activa on the pedestrian pavement, on the wrong side of the road, with insignia "If I am driving rashly, mind your own business". ![]() Can't get any more emphatic than that, guess! No photos though, was in a hurry to reach office. |

You should forgive him for he smiled at you. That is the new way to escape the ire of the other drivers these days!! If he was riding in the oncoming direction on a one way road, he may have turned on his headlights and not smiled and still you would have had to forgive him ![]() |

![]() ![]() On a serious note, I've seen few instances of families on 2-wheelers where all of them including the kid were wearing helmets and seated properly. I have rolled down my car window and flashed them a ![]() | |

Not leaving out car drivers, but two-wheelers have the (dis)advantage of numbers. | |

| ![]() I'm just back from a weekend trip, 2 days 5 temples in the deep south of India, with another BHPian (Prasanna). We were driving back to Chennai today morning when this happened - End result of this - all happened behind us The cyclist saw us coming and decided to turn back. A motorcyclist swerved to avoid him The cyclist fell swerving away from the motorcycle and got up with minor bruises The motorcyclist hit a cycle parked on the roadside and fell himself We moved away from there given we never touched any of them in the first place. |

| ![]() Even though i am a cautious driver, I become extra cautious when I spot two kinds of drivers on road: 1. Driving/riding with headphones on (yes headphones ![]() 2. Driving with ORVM folded in. I am not sure how these “expert” drivers do this, but i feel handicapped/uneasy if I am unable to check on vehicles from the side. |

![]() He moved to left then and continued peacefully as if nothing happened. (We missed a few heart bits in car though ![]() Luckily nobody was trying to overtake me from left which is a common practice in Bangalore. Otherwise it would have caused your exact scenario but on left hand side instead of right. Last edited by rajivtelang : 16th June 2019 at 22:14. | |
